I’ve said it for years. Taco Nation is the best taco around. Glad to see Yelp agrees. Congrats to Tim & his crew who love through their craft medium of tasty tacos. This Oklahoma restaurant was named best taco spot in the state, according to Yelp oklahoman.com/story/lifestyl…

In recent years, Oklahoma City has become a destination for craft beer lovers and was named one of the best beer cities in the country. Michelle Miller visited The Big Friendly, an award-winning brewery, where two brothers turned a school bus into a dream.

“We want to know the spiritual formula. But when we have the steps, we don’t need the Spirit. That is the trap. We think it’s a human endeavor. This is not a human endeavor. It’s the work of a relational God, who guides our steps as we walk in constant dependence on Him.” - Greg
